Plunge into the mysteries of our Universe (and beyond) with a cocktail in-hand during a cosmic edition of NightLife, part of the Brilliant!Science: Extraterrestrial Life festival.

Catch a special screening of sci-fi classic E.T. the Extra-terrestrial in African Hall. Find out what we’ve found and what we’re still learning in the search for extraterrestrial life during talks from SETI@home co-founder Dan Werthimer and SETI Institute senior astronomer Seth Shostak.

Plus, make your own alien plush toys with the help of GoGo Craft and have your alien alter-ego illustrated by a cartoonist. Ponder the possibility of aliens in your own backyard with Dan Zevin of UC Berkeley’s Space Sciences Laboratory and chat with experts from SETI@home and NASA Kepler.

In the planetarium, get an astronaut’s view of the only planet known to support life (so far!) with three showings of Fragile Planet. Extraterrestrial life welcome!
